Questions To Find Inner Peace

These are some important questions to ask yourself in order to unearth your actual inner nature from deep within and see that all you require is already present.

1. What if there was nothing I needed to fix in me? What if there was nothing I needed to change? What if I was perfect just the way I am now?

It's true that inner work needs to be done. Healing, self-awareness, growth, and transformation are all crucial. Too many people shy away from the inward work required to develop and learn.

But the mechanism that drives us to fix, perfect, and change is, in its own way, an expression of a wound.

The idea that there is something fundamentally wrong with us, that we are unworthy, and that there is something we should be doing to improve ourselves can imprison us.

This defense mechanism pushes us to go outside of ourselves in order to escape having to acknowledge that we are good, worthy, and sufficient just the way we are right now.

2. What if I didn’t have to punish myself to get the lesson?

It has been ingrained in us to punish ourselves for actions that we deem "bad" or "wrong." After all, that’s what our parents did when we were scolded for pulling our sister’s hair or our teacher gave us a “time-out.”

So ask yourself: What if I learned the lesson with love and kindness instead? If I were to gently and self-compassionately confront a mistake I committed instead of taking out a stick and beating my head?

3. What if I didn’t have to apologize?

Sure, saying we are sorry to a person for causing harm is respectful and necessary. We acknowledge our shortcomings and temporarily relinquish our ego. We accept accountability for the things we do.

Nevertheless, when we constantly apologize for who we are, we are accepting the idea that there is something wrong with ourselves.

As humans we make mistakes. We learn in this way.

So what if we asked: Can I receive the lesson, embrace it, and not walk around ashamed, saying “I’m sorry” all of the time?

4. What if what I need is already here?

What if it already exists inside of me? What if it's already here, living in my heart, existing without needing to be expressed? What if I don't need an astrologer to tell me what my life's goals are, or to look to someone else for love and validation?

What happens if I've already reached enlightenment? Might it reveal itself to me if I let go of the want to search for it, locate it, and discover it?

The Buddha implied that the antidote to the unwholesome expressed inside us is our connection to heart. Irrespective of your awareness, your heart is vibrant, full, and radiant.

Thus, consider this: What if everything that exists and breathes within my heart is sufficient?

To find out what you need, go back to your heart. Place the pain, the anxiety, the doubt, as well as the love, compassion, and appreciative joy for others right in the center of your chest.

What you need is already beating loudly inside of you.

Laugh More!

A good sense of humor can't cure all ailments. But it can help you feel better, even if you have to force a fake laugh through your grumpiness. When you laugh, it lightens your mental load. It also causes positive physical changes in the body. Laughter fires up and then cools down your stress response.

So read some jokes, tell some jokes, watch a comedy or hang out with your funny friends. Or give laughter yoga a try.

Peaceful Warrior Pose (Shanti Virabhadrasana)

What is Peaceful Warrior Pose?

Peaceful warrior pose, or shanti virabhadrasana in Sanskrit, is usually practiced in vinyasa classes as a transitional pose between warrior two and downward facing dog or chaturanga. From warrior two pose, the front arm reaches up and back in a gentle backbend while the back arm rests on the back leg.

Instructions

• Begin in warrior two with the left foot forward.

• Turn the left hand toward the sky. Inhale and reach the left arm up and back, bringing the torso into a gentle backbend. Gaze upward.

• Drop the back arm so that it rests on the right thigh or calf.

• Breathe while holding the pose.

• Change sides.
